U. of Minnesota Law School Dean Steps Down
Alex M. Johnson, who has served as Dean of the University of Minnesota Law School since 2002, announced this week that he will resign his deanship effective May 31. He will return to the University as a faculty member with dean emeritus status after taking a year of sabbatical.
Johnson has been credited with raising the Law School's profile and instituting changes that attracted a more competitive pool of applicants. He said in a 2002 interview that his priorities as dean included reducing the faculty-student ratio, retaining quality faculty members, recruiting more minority students, and improving the Law School Library.
The average GPAs and LSAT scores of Law School applicants increased under Johnson's tenure. The University of Minnesota placed 19th in this year's US News & World Report rankings.
A second-year Minnesota law student told the campus paper that she thought Johnson should have done more to support students interested in public service careers. “He failed to support and fund the public interest program and public interest groups," the student told the Minnesota Daily. "This is something we need for our law school to be one of the top 20 law schools in the nation.”
